For Some Measles Patients, Vitamin A Remedy Supported by RFK Jr. Leaves Them More Ill (Gift Article) After the health secretary promoted vitamin A as a cure, parents in West Texas began giving their children high doses, sometimes to prevent infection.

KIDS TREATED WITH BOBBY'S PROTOCOL ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF LIVER DAMAGE.

High doses of Vitamin A and cod liver oil being given over an extended period of time is causing toxicity in some Texas children with measles.
In most cases it was given to avoid vaccination.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.

These past two weeks have felt like the f$cking apocalypse for those of us who care about America’s children.

House Republicans just voted for my patients to die if they get sick.
They voted to destroy our nations's children's hospitals.
They voted for their own children to have no access to health care when there are no children's hospitals and no pediatricians.
Welcome to 2025.

Ya know who uses Medicaid? CHILDREN. 40 million kids are enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. That’s half of the kids in this country. Children don’t contribute to the workforce or buy goods or vote… so no one cares.

There are estimated to be more than 300 people with measles infections in west Texas right now, cases have shown up in eastern New Mexico, and there are new cases in New Jersey, Alaska and at least a couple southeastern states. This is a national problem and there is no federal infrastructure for it

A CDC vaccine committee meeting, the first of Kennedy's tenure at HHS, gets postponed An HHS spokesperson didn’t say when the meeting would be rescheduled.

And the frontal assault by the government on #vaccines has begun.

Our Lawsuit in Buffalo: Why We’re Suing Social Media and Gun Companies We filed a lawsuit together against a number of social media and gun companies for their role in the Buffalo shooting.

Because social media companies are focused on making as much $$ as possible, they often make decisions at the expense of public safetyβ€”just like the gun industry.

We're fighting back on behalf of the victims of the 2022 Buffalo shooting πŸ‘‡

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.

Until today.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Wildfire climate connection Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last ...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

Hoping to find other critical thinkers here who recognize that misinformation/information manipulation is our biggest threat.
